I am a Psychiatrist at Talkiatry providing psychiatric services to adults ages 18 and older. In my practice, I focus on medication management and psychoeducation, often along with supportive therapy. I am committed to providing evidence-based and patient-centered quality care, and I am dedicated to working collaboratively with patients as a team in order to help them to the best of my ability.

I received my medical degree from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson in NJ and completed my psychiatry residency there as well, where I served as Chief Resident. I have a vast array of clinical interests in psychiatry and behavioral health, including anxiety and mood disorders as well as wellness.

I believe that the key to success in mental health care is being able to establish a trusting and open relationship between psychiatrist and patient. I feel comfortable working with a wide range of age groups and enjoy treating challenges with anxiety, mood, sleep, and concentration. While initial sessions include the need to gather background information about the patient overall as well as the symptoms of concern, subsequent sessions are focused on learning the impact of the treatment.

Originally from Puerto Rico, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to connect deeply with a diverse patient population. Passionate about improving access to mental health care, I joined Talkiatry to help patients facing time or transportation challenges receive the care they need. In addition to my clinical practice, I remain involved with my alma mater's Behavioral Health Department, contributing to academic education and maintaining a connection with the next generation of medical professionals.

Dr. Gabriel Nieves is a board-eligible psychiatrist who earned his medical degree from Universidad Central del Caribe in Puerto Rico, an ACGME-accredited institution.

His outpatient experience includes general adult psychiatry as well as specialty clinics focused on ADHD, women’s mental health, and treatment-resistant depression.

Dr. Nieves believes the best outcomes come from collaboration.

He takes time to listen carefully and understand each patient’s unique experiences before making recommendations.

Dr. Nieves focuses on understanding the full picture of a patient’s mental health rather than viewing concerns through a single diagnosis. He develops individualized treatment plans that may include medication, psychotherapy-informed strategies, and other evidence-based approaches. His goal is to help patients improve their overall well-being, function effectively in daily life, and achieve lasting progress beyond symptom relief.

I use my training in cognitive behavioral therapy, supportive therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy skills in tandem with medication management to provide holistic, person-centered care. I am interested in treating patients with a wide variety of diagnoses, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders, personality disorders, OCD, comorbid addiction, mild eating disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder.

I have experience working with a diverse group of patients, having previously worked in community clinics in the greater Los Angeles area and as a staff psychiatrist at UCLA.

I strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and understood. My approach emphasizes a holistic, whole-person method to healing, guided by the patient's own goals and values. I integrate psychotherapy with medication management, drawing on my background in psychodynamic psychopharmacology and acceptance and commitment therapy. I focus on understanding each patient as a whole to create individualized treatment plans. This begins with a comprehensive history during the initial session to identify biopsychosocial factors. Treatment is then tailored to align with the patient's unique goals and values, promoting meaningful progress.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and earned my medical degree from Midwestern University Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Dr. O'Brien spends the beginning of a first visit getting to know each patient, understanding what brings them to care, and creating a comfortable environment. He encourages open communication throughout treatment so patients feel heard and involved in their care.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist who joined Talkiatry after completing my psychiatry residency. I provide patient-centered care and understand the importance of actively involving patients in their treatment journey. I believe that every patient deserves personalized care tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. I utilize evidence-based treatments combined with a comprehensive approach to address not only the symptoms but also the underlying factors contributing to my patients' distress. Although my practice focuses on medication management, I also provide supportive therapy and may recommend more intensive therapy when indicated. I approach each patient with empathy and understanding, fostering a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

I am approachable, open-minded, and collaborative in my diagnostic interviews and treatment planning. I believe that a strong doctor-patient relationship with a thorough understanding of a patient's condition and concerns is key to effective treatment.

I am a double board-certified psychiatrist in Psychiatry and Forensic Psychiatry. I completed my undergraduate training at the University of Florida, followed by medical school at the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University. I completed both my residency in Psychiatry and fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital.

I use an integrative approach to health in my psychiatric practice, combining evidence-based concepts in neurobiology with psychological, social, and spiritual/existential worldviews to understand and treat every patient. My primary practice is medication management, and I also integrate elements of psychotherapy into my work, typically within 30-minute follow-up visits. In addition to medication and psychotherapy, I incorporate wellness tools into visits, such as mindfulness exercises and sleep management strategies. If I believe that additional psychotherapy is needed, I will recommend that you add a therapist to your care team. My primary focus is working with adults with mood and anxiety disorders, trauma symptoms, ADHD, and problems with sleep. I enjoy working with people facing life transitions, especially older adults and women who are struggling with mental health challenges related to pregnancy and post-partum health. I have extensive experience working with people from many stages of life, with diverse world views and cultural backgrounds. I have always had an inclusive practice and welcome people who identify as LBGTQIA+.

I strive to create a supportive, collaborative space where patients can explore what's bringing them in and work together to determine the best path forward. Whether someone is new to mental health care or returning after some time away, I recognize that it's normal to feel a mix of emotions at the start. I take a thoughtful, personalized approach to treatment that may include medication, therapy recommendations, or simply creating space to talk. I value open communication and believe deeply in each person's capacity for meaningful change. Follow-up visits are 20 to 30 minutes, focusing on monitoring progress and adjusting care as needed. I also value collaborative care and often coordinate with therapists or refer patients to therapy when additional support can enhance outcomes. While telehealth offers flexibility and convenience, I am committed to building a meaningful connection with each patient.

After completing my training, I moved to Brattleboro, VT, where I became an attending psychiatrist at The Brattleboro Retreat, working on both the child and adolescent inpatient units. The Brattleboro Retreat's location was such that it served a large number of patients from nearby states, including New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York, while also serving as the only psychiatric inpatient facility for children and adolescents in the entire state of Vermont. I also worked as the lead psychiatrist on the inpatient, adult, dual-diagnosis unit, which provided care for individuals struggling with addiction and mental-health related issues, some of whom required medically supervised detoxification.

After roughly five years, I moved from Vermont to Erie, PA, where I began working at a residential treatment facility for child and adolescent patients who required care in a highly supervised and highly structured setting. I also began serving as a child and adolescent psychiatrist for patients enrolled in a school-based partial-hospitalization program. I gradually transitioned from these roles into strictly outpatient work, treating child, adolescent, and adult patients in Butler, PA, before eventually narrowing my scope of practice to providing psychiatric treatment for only outpatient children and adolescents, out of facilities located in Erie and Meadville, PA.

While I have experience treating a wide variety of patients, my primary focus has been treating children and adolescents with a vast array of presenting concerns.

My practice is influenced by my training and research in political and medical anthropology, psychoanalysis, and social psychiatry. I view mental health as inseparable from history, culture, and social context, not just neurobiology. My approach ensures patients time to elaborate how their life history shapes their experiences and goals. In a healthcare system that often relies on generic diagnoses and standardized plans, I work with each patient on their own terms, integrating psychotherapy and potential medications to support the pursuit of their unique life possibilities.

I often work with writers, actors, musicians, and visual artists and with journalists, academics, athletes, healthcare workers, and activists, many of whom seek treatment in response to creative blocks, burnout, and relationship struggles. I also have long-term experience working with people who have lived through incarceration, war, torture, migration, childhood abuse, and psychosis, and with those building queer and trans identities and communities.

To facilitate durable changes, I regard psychiatric symptoms as matters to be taken seriously, understood, and worked through, not simply suppressed by medications. I ask patients to actively engage in treatment and often recommend frequent appointments to support this.

I provide compassionate psychiatric care using pharmacotherapy combined with supportive psychotherapy. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and numerous other psychiatric conditions. I also emphasize nutritional counseling, assisting patients in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight as part of their overall wellness plan. In an initial visit, patients can expect a thorough assessment aimed at understanding their psychiatric symptoms, personal health goals, and lifestyle considerations. I combine medication evaluation with supportive psychotherapy and may discuss nutritional guidance as part of a holistic treatment plan. I prioritize creating a supportive environment for bilingual (English/Spanish) patients to openly discuss their mental health concerns.

I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking adult psychiatrist with 25 years of experience. I completed my residency in Adult Psychiatry at Saint Vincent's Hospital and Medical Center in New York City and subsequently completed a Child Psychiatry fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. I have extensive experience practicing in outpatient and community mental health settings.

I believe that you need to take a whole-person approach to both mental and physical health. I use an integrated health paradigm with general and geriatric patients, drawing on traditional psychopharmacology, interpersonal neurobiology practices, and personality assessments to look at root motivations for behaviors, address core issues, and incorporate medication management as needed. My focus includes an integrated approach to the consideration of mental and physical health while incorporating mindfulness tools to teach skills of stress and anxiety management in everyday life. In conjunction with medication management, I use interpersonal neurobiology to help clients understand triggers as well as methods to calm overactive stress responses and reactivity.

I am a Stanford-trained board-certified psychiatrist and am board-eligible for geriatric psychiatry from UCSD, with 30 years of practice across a variety of settings. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Minnesota, Duluth, and then attended Stanford Medical School to complete my MD. With visions of becoming a general surgeon, I went to the University Hospitals of Cleveland and completed two years of general surgery training before transferring to psychiatry. I completed my psychiatry training at Stanford University and my geriatric training many years later at UCSD.

Dr. Alexander Richardson is a psychiatrist with experience treating anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD, OCD, trauma-related disorders, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. He earned his medical degree from the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine and completed his psychiatry residency at Zucker Hillside Hospital in New York. He has practiced in outpatient, inpatient, and emergency settings and integrates CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and interpersonal therapy into personalized care.

Dr. Richardson provides a warm, nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard and respected. He believes each patient is the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to create treatment goals that reflect their values. By understanding each person's history and circumstances, he tailors care through medication management, therapy, or a combination of both.

The first visit focuses on understanding each patient's history, concerns, and goals without pressure. Dr. Richardson develops individualized treatment plans that reflect each person's background, cultural identity, and preferences, adjusting care over time as needs and goals evolve.

I foster a safe, non-judgmental space where patients can explore their feelings and experiences freely, met with unconditional positive regard. I prioritize active listening and deep empathy, ensuring each patient feels heard, understood, and valued as a unique individual throughout their treatment journey. Initial sessions focus on a collaborative exploration of a patient's history, current challenges, and core values, forming the foundation for a personalized treatment plan. I emphasize shared decision-making, integrating therapeutic modalities (including medication when appropriate) while honoring patient autonomy and aligning with their vision for well-being.

I earned my medical degree from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and completed a psychiatry residency at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, followed by a forensic psychiatry fellowship at the National Capital Consortium. I have experience practicing in outpatient and inpatient settings, as well as with military and confinement populations.

I place a strong emphasis on establishing meaningful relationships with my patients and supporting them in achieving their individual life goals through effective treatment. I actively incorporate patient preferences into all treatment plans and integrate psychotherapy with medication management. I recognize the importance of educating patients about their care and dedicate time during each appointment to address any questions or concerns they may have.

In my clinical practice, I begin by facilitating an open dialogue with patients regarding their primary concerns for the appointment. During initial consultations, I conduct a comprehensive assessment, which includes gathering relevant medical, familial, and social histories that may influence the course of treatment. In subsequent appointments, I engage patients by inquiring about developments that have occurred since their last visit, as well as any issues related to medications or significant life events.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with a specialization in the treatment of adults aged 18 to 65. I obtained my undergraduate degree in brain, cognition, and neuroscience from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

I earned my MD from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine and completed my psychiatry residency at Larkin Community Hospital, where I served as Chief Resident during my third and fourth years. My clinical interests include depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and neurodiversity.

I believe the best psychiatric care is built on trust, collaboration, and open communication. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and supported. I value shared decision-making and tailor treatment to each individual's goals, values, and unique circumstances.

I begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to better understand each patient's history, concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, we develop an individualized treatment plan that may include evidence-based medication management, supportive psychotherapy, psychoeducation, lifestyle interventions, and coordinated care when appropriate. Follow-up visits focus on monitoring progress, managing side effects, and adjusting treatment as needs evolve, helping patients achieve their best possible mental health and well-being.

‍

I take an individual approach to treating others, recognizing individuals as unique and worthy of love, respect, and acceptance. I am compassionate, non-judgmental, and truly enjoy helping others. I tend to gravitate towards a combination of medication management (if indicated) and psychotherapy where I treat all facets of the individual. I believe that we are all unique and should be treated as such.

Over the past 30 years I have created a successful career as a psychiatrist, participating in a variety of treatment settings and developing a wealth of experience in prescribing medications, providing therapy, counseling, and even coaching. I spent most of my career in private practice until deciding to retire in 2014. After this I spent the next 3 1/2 years reading, studying, traveling, and spending time with my loved ones. In 2018 I was offered a position as a consultant overseeing Ketamine infusion therapy for treating treatment-resistant depression. When the pandemic hit in March of 2020, I was asked to assist a local psychiatric hospital deal with the unique and often deadly consequences of the virus. This proved to be a wonderful opportunity for personal growth and to improve the quality of life of many others. After working at the hospital for 2 years, I joined Talkiatry to continue providing high-quality psychiatric care to others in a very loving, supportive, creative, and collaborative environment.

I am trained in both adult and child & adolescent psychiatry, with a focus on the diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, and ADHD. I emphasize a holistic approach, combining medication management and psychotherapy, and I utilize principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and supportive psychotherapy. This method is supported by research indicating improved patient outcomes.

I received my bachelor's degree in biology with a minor in French from The University of Central Florida. I completed medical school at Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine, followed by a General Psychiatry residency and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. My professional experience includes working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals, consult-liaison psychiatry, outpatient clinics, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), and emergency rooms. This broad range of experience allows me to provide comprehensive, individualized care to patients at all stages of life.

Patients can anticipate a thorough initial evaluation during their first visit with me. I conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand the patient's symptoms, history, and personal circumstances. This session sets the foundation for collaboratively developing an individualized treatment plan focused on the patient's specific needs and goals.

I am board-certified in Adult psychiatry and have been practicing for over 5 years. I focus on medication management and brief psychotherapy utilizing techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and supportive therapy in 30-minute appointments. When appropriate, I may recommend additional psychotherapy with a psychologist as part of the treatment plan. I am fluent in both Spanish and English and am passionate about working with the Latinx population.

Through ongoing follow-up, Dr. Rivers monitors progress, adjusts care as needed, and maintains a patient-centered approach to support meaningful, lasting improvements in mental health.

I value open communication and prioritize patient education. I collaborate with patients to set clear treatment goals and foster a supportive environment where individuals feel heard and respected. In the first session, I focus on understanding each patient's history, concerns, and goals. I then develop individualized treatment plans aligned with these goals and work with patients to update their plans as needed to ensure care remains effective and personalized.

After completing training, I became a Clinical Assistant Professor for the University of Florida Department of Psychiatry, where I served students at UF Student Mental Health at the Counseling and Wellness Center and provided treatment to adults in inpatient services and other settings.

I specialize in treating depression and anxiety. I acknowledge that while medications can be necessary, they are not magic, and a holistic approach is essential for achieving mental health. With this understanding, I spend time getting to know my patients, focusing on helping them achieve mental wellness rather than simply prescribing medications. When I became a doctor, I made a pledge to "do no harm." I take this commitment seriously and only prescribe medications, especially those with addictive properties, when it is safe and clearly indicated.

The first one or two appointments focus on a thorough assessment to establish a provisional diagnosis, which is essential for effective treatment planning. Once this initial diagnosis is made, I collaborate with my patients to develop tailored treatment recommendations. During follow-up appointments, I actively listen to my patients and propose adjustments to the treatment plan as needed.

My approach to care involves providing a consistent, empathic, non-judgmental space to develop and attain shared treatment goals.

My clinical work includes assisting patients who experience mental health disorders with co-occurring substance use problems.

I believe in building a strong therapeutic alliance grounded in empathy, respect, and curiosity. I value collaboration and open communication, ensuring that patients feel like active partners in their care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals feel understood as whole people, not defined solely by their symptoms. I also prioritize incorporating cultural background and social determinants of health, including financial stressors and systemic barriers, into treatment planning.

In my work, I begin by taking time to understand each patient's unique story, experiences, and goals. I approach care through a trauma-informed lens and with cultural sensitivity to ensure treatment feels safe, respectful, and relevant. My process integrates evidence-based approaches, including psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while tailoring care plans to meet both clinical needs and patient preferences. I regularly check in on progress, invite feedback, and adjust treatment collaboratively to support an ongoing, responsive therapeutic process.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist who strives to understand my patients' lived experiences and aspirations to develop supportive therapeutic relationships through empathetic listening, mutual trust, and respect. I collaboratively create individualized care plans that align with personal treatment goals in a safe and judgment-free environment.

After completing my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology with a focus in psychology from the University of California, Merced, I earned my medical degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. I completed my General Psychiatry Residency at Arnot Ogden Medical Center in New York.

My clinical experience involves treating individuals of all age groups from diverse populations and socioeconomic backgrounds suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and neurocognitive disorders. I have provided care in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric facilities, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, emergency rooms, state facilities, and an inpatient chemical dependency center. I also performed pre-procedure psychological evaluations for bariatric and spinal cord surgeries, and psychiatric consult liaison services on medical units, and I have clinical training in inpatient and outpatient neurology. My clinical experience incorporated treatment modalities such as pharmacotherapy and interventional psychiatry, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Spravato. I integrate a wide array of psychotherapy as needed; however, my practice primarily focuses on medication management while utilizing referrals to therapists and providing collaborative care for optimal outcomes.

I am a psychiatrist specializing in adult and maternal mental health. I develop personalized treatment plans to address anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, PMDD, and perinatal conditions. My goal is to help patients reconnect with their values and live balanced, fulfilled, and meaningful lives. I combine pharmacotherapy (medication) with psychotherapy to create individualized treatment plans. Therapy provides powerful tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that support balanced brain chemistry, and research shows that medication helps restore this balance more quickly and effectively, especially in moderate to severe cases.

I liken medication for the brain to fertilizer for a garden. Imagine your mental health as a vibrant garden: when well-nourished, it can thrive with resilience, beauty, and balance. But when symptoms like depression, anxiety, ADHD, or mood instability take hold, they act like invasive weeds, crowding out healthy growth and making it hard to enjoy the space. Medication acts like fertilizer, strengthening the garden's natural systems so the healthy parts can reclaim their place and flourish. Just as some gardens need only seasonal care while others require more consistent tending, medication plans are personalized to support each person's long-term mental wellness. My approach emphasizes diagnostic clarity, medication management, patient education, and brief psychotherapy based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I believe patients should take an active role in understanding their diagnosis and treatment.

Your first appointment is a supportive, in-depth conversation to share your story, challenges, and goals. I will review your medical and psychiatric history and assess symptoms using a whole-person approach that considers biological, psychological, and social factors. Together, we will develop a personalized plan that may include lab work, medication, and therapy. Initial visits last 60 minutes for thorough evaluation; follow-ups typically last 20–30 minutes, focusing on medication management and brief therapy. If needed, I can refer you to in-house or community therapists for add-on therapy support. Throughout your care, I prioritize shared decision making to ensure you feel informed, empowered, and supported.

My passion for medicine began in childhood, inspired by curiosity about the mind and body. I earned an Honors Chemistry degree with magna cum laude and completed my medical training and psychiatry residency at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. With a strong scientific foundation, I understand the role of medications and embrace holistic healing through connection, gratitude, and spirituality. I have experience in diverse clinical settings and have received national awards including the AWP International Fellowship and ADMSEP Innovations Award. I am dedicated to advancing maternal mental health screening and treatment through clinical care and education.

My practice focuses on evidence-based treatments for psychiatric illness, utilizing a combination of medications and psychotherapy modalities best suited for each individual patient and their needs. My particular clinical focus is on the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and behavioral addictions, as well as trauma, mood, and anxiety disorders. I offer this in conjunction with supportive or emotionally focused therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. Weekly hour-long psychotherapy may be available if indicated. Occasionally, I may believe that different therapies are also needed and ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome.

I am board certified in Addiction Psychiatry and Adult Psychiatry. I received my medical education at the University of Washington in Seattle after completing undergraduate studies in psychology and later a post-baccalaureate at Boston University. After residency at the University of Chicago, where I specialized in addiction psychiatry and psychotherapy, I completed an Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship at the University of Washington in Seattle.

I believe effective treatment begins with understanding a patient's life experiences and perspective. I take time to explore how patients see their challenges and what is or is not working for them. While medication can be an important tool, I do not focus on medication alone and value open discussion about its benefits and concerns. I prioritize understanding how patients are functioning across all areas of life and strongly value a collaborative approach, viewing treatment as a partnership built on shared decision-making. I begin with a thorough evaluation that includes medical and family history, ensuring that underlying medical issues are not overlooked. The first visit is also an opportunity to build rapport and help patients feel comfortable. Together, my patients and I develop a treatment plan aligned with their goals. I recognize that goals evolve over time and work collaboratively to adjust treatment as part of the ongoing growth process.
